She thinks she's Jose Mourinho. She tries to have too much of a say sometimes - but I always listen

Raheem Sterling

Sterling - who has the Wembley tube station logo and the stadium tattooed on his arm - tells the BBC's Football Focus programme today (MUST) he had to pinch himself earlier this month when he was back on his old patch for England's friendly against Denmark.

"I was looking at the sights thinking: 'I used to play there a couple of years back and now I'm on the coach with the England team'," he said.

Sterling is in the hunt for a spot for Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad this summer.

Nicknamed 'Heemio' by his pals for his Brazil-style flicks and tricks, Sterling added: "Growing up you watch players like Ronaldinho playing in World Cups, doing the business and you idolise these people.

"To then get called up by England for a World Cup? I don't think there'd be a greater feeling, knowing you could help make the nation proud."
